MFA: Media Arts (Photography)

"Our program seeks individuals who approach the medium of photography from diverse angles yet wish to participate in a community of artists. We want to foster each student's best abilities, visual, verbal, critical." Laura McPhee

MassArt's 60 credit, full-time MFA: Media Arts (Photography) explores the medium as a fine art with an emphasis on personal vision, technical excellence, and experimentation. The history of photography, critical theory and contemporary multi-disciplinary practice will be explored.

Extensive facilities include private darkrooms for MFA students, a non-silver darkroom, individual studio spaces, a large graduate digital studio equipped with large format printers, Flextight scanners, and Mac towers with the latest Adobe software. MFA candidates make use of the many student gallery spaces at MassArt and thesis exhibitions are held in the college's Paine and Bakalar Galleries.
